Music.com DOES NOT charge set up fees or monthly fees for being part of the Music.com community or for the music store service. Artists and bands make their music available for download simply by uploading their music to the site. Artists set the pricing for their music and retain up to 81% of the purchase price of a music download. Downloads sold for $.99 USD or less are charged a flat rate of $.18 per transaction. Downloads selling for $1.00 USD and above are charged a 20% rate per transaction. For example, if an artist prices a download at $.99 USD, the artist makes $.81 USD or if the artist prices the download at $1.50 USD, the artist makes $1.20 USD.

In addition to the store, some members offer a rental program for musical instruments, useful if you are considering lessons on a new instrument and would like to try something out before buying, especially for the rarer instruments. Check out the Members Services page for this.
